It runs incredibly slow in games, so I finally benchmarked it and yeah... it's infinitely slower than my boot drive. What gives?

Unless you're doing high end video editing with a scratchdisk that's pretty fine for 99% of use cases It's because my boot drive is like 5x faster than it and that's the speed I wanted to translate to my gaming drive, but I guess I messed up and got the evo instead of the pro. Don't get me wrong it's faster than my HDD I was using before, but not by as much as I expected or wanted. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. https://imgur.com/OhZgm <cite>CommunismFTW posted [p:939598610] in What am I ...

MrFingers07 05/23/20 2:55:42 PM #11:	That's the standard speeds of a Samsung 860 evo though. It's not an NVME ssd it's a SATA one, the only NVME Samsung has (iirc) is the 970 series. Though tbh there's multiple videos out there that show that there's little difference between game loading times between a NVME and SATA ssds despite NVME ssds having 5-10 times the write and read speeds of a SATA one. So I don't think a faster ssd is going to solve your load times, some games just load slow as fuck even with top tier storage. --- :D Brawlin' Mains: R.O.B., Lucario, Pikachu, Wolf <cite>MrFingers07 posted [p:939599319] in What am I ...

Hornezz 05/23/20 3:00:29 PM #13:	Pretty sure the test tool you're using is messing up. There's no way an 850 pro would get over 4 gigs of r/w speeds. Samsung advertises them at 550MB and I can't find any benchmark that goes well beyond that. --- In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spinaciae habes. <cite>Hornezz posted [p:939599508] in What am I ...
